French term
fonder la présente action
French to English
Law/Patents
Law (general)
Intellectual property dispute.
"Dans ses conclusions du 2 mai 2016, XXX reprochait aux Défendeurs de demander la nullité des marques de XXX fondant la présente action pour l’intégralité des classes listées dans le Certificat d’enregistrement des marques de XXX fondant la présente action."
My natural inclination is just to put something along the lines of "on the basis of which this action was brought". But then another part of my head says "but what about "mal-fondé", "bien-fondé", all that stuff? I'm wondering whether "fonder" in this context carries an idea of "justify" or something like it...
No legal definition of "fonder" found in (for example) Bridge. I tried other sources. Trésor de la Langue Française has a non-specifically-legal definition which may be close: "Donner à quelque chose son existence ou sa raison d'être"...

on which this action is based
Or "to which this action relates", or anything like that.
It says "fondant", not "fonder".
Since the phrase appears twice in one sentence, you could simply say "these marks" the second time.

: "The Marks on which this action is based," yep. (Marks is normally capitalized in EN litigation docs relating to trademarks).

Thanks, though I don't see any reason to capitalize it.
